Cooler Master created a new line of PSUs featuring a significantly more durable 12VHPWR power connector to reduce the chance of failure.
Cooler Master has created a new line of PSUs with a more durable 12VHPWR 16-pin power connector that is less prone to melting. The connector has been modified from the top down to improve the cable’s safety including thicker materials, and an improved latching mechanism.
The connector is available on Cooler Master’s GX III series of power supplies, including the 650W, 750W, and 850W models. The improved 12VHPWR connector comes with 25% thicker materials, more contact springs, and 12% higher insertion and withdrawal force. Best of all, the cable comes with a 90-degree angled connector that will reduce cable stress, as well as improve compatibility with bigger graphics cards and smaller cases. Cooler Master says the new cable design results in 5°C lower temps and a 45% reduction in impedance change rate.
